What about when they're discussing album reviews:
"Shark Sandwich- Shit sandwich"
"They can't say that!!"

Same scene;

"The Gospel according to Spinal Tap"

Review - "What day did God create Spinal Tap...and couldn't he of rested on that day"

LMAO

I still think it sounded too "f**kin' Barbershop". "Barbershop raga. A new hybrid".

So many great scenes, every one is a killer is in its own way. The best and most quotable comedy of all time, with apologies to Life Of Brian.

Some other favorite bits that I don't think have been mentioned yet.

At the Air Force base gig.

Lieutenant Hookstratten: I would like to get the playing on about 1900 hours, if that is satisfactory?
Derek: When will that be?
Hookstratten: I make it now it is about 1830 hours.
Derek: So that's what? about 50 hours?
David: 120 hours?

In Ian's Office

Marty: The last time Tap toured America, they where booked into 10,000 and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on the current tour they're being booked into 1,200 seat arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and I was just wondering, does this mean the popularity of the group is waning?
Ian: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no ... no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the ... err ... their appeal is becoming more ... err ... selective.

it's really a bottomless pit of humor and nuances.
Also the air force radio coming thru Nigels pick ups @ the gig.

rolmao@" "selective"
Ahhh...the great denial that is,rock and roll.

There are just too many to nominate one, as this is basically my favorite movie of all time.

Some belters that havent been mentioned and i'm damn surprised noone has mentioned these yet....

The album reviews

'Spinal Tap are drowning in a sea of their own ******ed sexuality. The musical growth rate of this band cannot even be charted'

the response from the band...'Well thats just nit picking innit?'

'This ponderous collection of Gospel rock songs leads us to ask the question 'On what day did God create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'

'Or this review of your latest album, Shark Sandwich. It's just two words...Shit Sandwich'

The response from the band...'They didn't print that did they? Where did they print that? You can't print that!!!'

I have to admit I'm also partial to the bit where they are talking to Ian about his cricket bat...

'In the hurly burly world of rock'n'roll music, it's often handy to have a large lump of wood in your hands' (then they show him manhandling a few people and smashing up hotel rooms with it)

Not to mention Nigel at the piano 'I'm really influenced by Mozart and Bach, and this is sort of in between, really, kind of a Mach piece really'

'And what do you call this?'

'Ah, this piece is called 'Lick My Love Pump'
 
The other band in the hotel

"We'd love to stay and chat guys, but we've gotta go sit in the lobby and wait for the limo"
 
Fran Drescher to Nigel after the big RC gig.

"That thing on ur face makes u look like a "toochas"

Whats a toochus?
 
A few little lines that always make me laugh, but not usually the people i watch it with :p



Nigel on the backstage rider

"look,who's in here? no-one, and then in here,there's a little guy, look...so it's a complete catastrophe!!"


The limo driver when the window goes up halfway through his amusing personal anecdote

"f**king limeys"


Ian not caring about the artists explanation,just the end result

"f**k the napkin"


Ian's defence of the stonehenge debacle

"one single thing goes wrong...a hundred things go right"
 
Nice add d&d
love the f *** the napkin scene.

I could talk about that movie forever :)


Did you ever see Derek and Nigel on the Vizard show when they came to Australia years ago? It was really funny, Vizard did a good job... I've still got it on tape somewhere...Unfortunately i missed the the first 10 minutes or so.... it started with Nigel and Derek in the stairwell out the back of the studio and they were trying to work out how to find the stage :)

They actually played a gig at a pub in Fitzroy - I haven't lived in Melbourne for a while so I've forgotten its name now. At the top of Brunswick Street, on the corner of Alexander Parade(?) and Brunswick Street, I'll know it when you say it. Same side of the road as the Punters (not the Tankerville, the other direction). It was a hoot.

And later on after Ian quits and there is an uncomfortable silence in the room:

Derek: Can I raise a practical question at this point? Are we going to do Stonehenge again tomorrow?
David: No, we're not gonna f**king do Stonehnge!
Click to expand...

Yeah that's my favorite part.

Here's another great part:

Nigel Tufnel: [on what he would do if he couldn't be a rock star] Well, I suppose I could, uh, work in a shop of some kind, or... or do, uh, freelance, uh, selling of some sort of, uh, product. You know...
Marty DiBergi: A salesman?
Nigel Tufnel: A salesman, like maybe in a, uh, haberdasher, or maybe like a, uh, um... a chapeau shop or something. You know, like, "Would you... what size do you wear, sir?" And then you answer me.
Marty DiBergi: Uh... seven and a quarter.
Nigel Tufnel: "I think we have that." See, something like that I could do.
Marty DiBergi: Yeah... you think you'd be happy doing something like-...
Nigel Tufnel: "No; we're all out. Do you wear black?" See, that sort of thing I think I could probably... muster up.
Marty DiBergi: Do you think you'd be happy doing that?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, I don't know - wh-wh-... what're the hours?

On The Simpsons:
"This a rock concert, not a bleeding....splish splash show"
 
I remember seeing some subsequent interviews from the band, I think it was around the time they released the 'Break Like the Wind' album.....

Nigel: 'I've been listening to alot of Joe Satriani lately. Joe's great, he's got sound and technique, sound and technique. We've got....err.....volume'

'Our amps used to go to 11, but now they go to infinity...'

:D

Derek Smalls: We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.
 
"The patron saint of quality footwear"

My favourite line from the DVD commentary is

"Well, in hindsight retrospect is 20/20"
 
"Here lies David St Hubbins........and why not?":thumbsu:
 
Ian Faith on the fone to Sir Denis Eaton regarding the album cover,

Yes Sir Denis I understand but.........

*Band gathers in background with growing concern on their face*

*puts the fone on his chest and screams F***** ****ter!*

*band grows more concerned*

"but it's really not that bad Sir Denis"

Into the sexist scene
 
Garden Interview I

MARTY: Let’s...uh talk a little bit about the history of the group. I understand, Nigel, you and David originally started
the band wuh...back in...when was it... 1964?

DAVID: Well before that we were in different groups. I was in a group called The Creatures and w-which was a skiffle
group.

NIGEL: I was in Lovely Lads.

DAVID: Yeah.

NIGEL: And then we looked at each other and says well we might as well join up you know and uh....

DAVID: So we became The Originals.

NIGEL: Right.

DAVID: And we had to change our name actually....

NIGEL: Well there was, there was another group in the East End called The Originals and we had to rename
ourselves.

DAVID: The New Originals.

NIGEL: The New Originals and then, uh, they became....

DAVID: The Regulars, they changed their name back to The Regulars and we thought well, we could go back to The
Originals but what’s the point?

NIGEL: We became The Thamesmen at that point.
 
MARTY: Your first drummer was uh....

NIGEL: The Peeper....

DAVID: Joe stumpy Pepys...great great...uh...tall blond geek...with glasses uh...

NIGEL: Uh.. good drummer.

DAVID: Great look, good drummer. (in that order)

NIGEL: Good, good drummer...

DAVID: Fine drummer...

MARTY: What happened to him?

DAVID: He died. He, he died in a bizarre gardening accident some years back. (Jeff Porcaro)

NIGEL: It was really one of those things...it was...you know...the authorities said...you know...well best leave it
unsolved, really...you know.

MARTY: And he was replaced by...uh....

DAVID: Stumpy Joe - Eric Stumpy Joe Childs.

MARTY: What happened to Stumpy Joe?

DEREK: Well, uh, it’s not a very pleasant story..but, uh,

DAVID: He’s passed on.

DEREK: he died. uh...he choked on..the ac- the official explanation was he choked on vomit.

NIGEL: It was actually, was actually someone else’s vomit. It’s not....

DAVID: It’s ugly.

NIGEL: You know. There’s no real....

DEREK: You know they can’t prove whose vomit it was...they don’t have the facilities at Scotland Yard....

DAVID: You can’t print...there’s no way to print a spectra-photograph.

NIGEL: You can’t really dust for vomit.
